Although this was a goos idea, it was not what I wanted to achieve as the poster highlighted information for the band to be featured at a club. With this result I had to look long and hard for magazine adverts. This search was very difficult, therefore I made a search that included the similar information to what a Magazine Advert would hold. In doing so I searched for Concert Posters. I gained alot of feedback form this search which inspired me for my own Magazine Advert.
The following posters inspired me to create my magazine advert. Lilly Allen, Alicia Keys and Paramore.
Lilly Allens poster inspired me in regards to composition. When I saw this poster it allowed me to move away from the general magazine advert whereby the band of artist are in the middle of the page. In doing I created tester posters in order to give me an idea on where to place the images of the band.
Alicia Keys magazine cover allowed to arrange the text whilst placing images in bewteen them. Although the words have been divided up, audiences are still able to identify the words.
The same applies to Paramores poster. In Paramores poster the text has been placed vertical direction therefore following the portrait orientation of the page.
Below are my tester shoots showing how I have been able to develop my ideas.
Final Poster
When looking through my blog, you will notice that I have provided examples of official/real magazine adverts. In doing so it gives me and idea for my own product as well as highlighting the common conventions of a magazine advert. I have used the following conventions in my work. The name of the band, title of the song, release dates, pictures, formats, quotes etc.
When comparing my Final Poster to my tester posters I have added a background in order to make the information stand out. Apart from the general conventions listed above I have also added a website and a HMV Logo.
